Names

[sherball.livejournal.com]

What do you think of the names:

Carolina or Carolena

Both to be pronounced as ca-row-lee-nah

Nickname would be Cara

Trying to find a spanish/latin -ish sounding name that I like. Hubby was born in Spain, and I'd like to try and find something that isn't too overly ethnic. :)

Other names we liked were,

Elena
Natalia - Can't use this because his brother used that for his last kid. :)
Isabela
I also liked Gabriella, but he didn't.

Do you have any other suggestions???

Luisa- famous female warrior
Mariana- bitter(mary)/gracious(ana)
Maribel- form of Isabel, which is a form of elizabeth!
Neva- covered with snow
Ofelia- helper (this is one of my favourite names ever, but i'd spell it Ophelia...ala Shakespeare i guess that's just not spanish though!)
Paloma- dove (i know a baby Paloma & they call her Lola for short, which i think is adorable)
Rosa- from the word rose.

I thought MARA was bitter. MARY is "beloved."
